April 28: To Cry, To Laugh

To cry, to laugh, to sigh, 

to sing: sobs and shrieks 

and moans and quavers—

music of the human heart

produced by breath

that sometimes wavers

but, drawn back in, returns again

until the last, and even then

it catches like a yawn 

from soul to soul

without an end.

February 9: Too Much Nose Blowing

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
